oils for ADHD? Energy Healing can help.

[Guest guest]

Hmmmmmmmm

And what if dad ISN'T sleeping around, the uncle ISN'T abusing the kids,

The kids are actually getting a decent diet and mom doesn't drink (okay, I

had a glass of champange last night, the first alchoholic drink in about a

year).

Sometimes.. you know.. the problem really is a problem and NOT symptomatic

of something evil going on at home.

Contrary to public opinion, not EVERYTHING is my fault. ;-)

K >who for some reason took this post personally and I KNOW it wasn't meant

to be, but then... sometimes that's just the way the old cookie crumbles

Thanks for that long post, Anna White.

 

I totally agree with everything you say.

The reason I asked about essential oils,

was as just one more trick in the toolkit.

 

Since I know very little about E.O.s.

and the people on this list know a great

deal, I thought I'd ask.

 

One of my favorite tools right now is

FlyLady. A great, face-saving loving

way of getting the family out of chaos.

Yes, but when the diet is fairly healthy, there are no food allergies,

the family is loving and supportive, and life is generally good... then

OTHER things need to be considered. We rejected the idea of medicating

my daughter for a long time... I am a teacher, she got a lot of extra

help at home after school... she needed more... a low dose of some ADD

meds were all she needed to be able to focus enough in school. Even she

agrees that the medication helps, it actually was HER that said that she

wanted to try the meds when we talked with her doctor. SHE says it helps

her. I see a difference. It took until she was 10 before we gave in...

almost 11. she has no behavioral issues... it's all her ability to focus

long enough at school to help her learn what the teacher is

explaining... and even when the meds are supposed to have worn off, she

still retains what she learned so that she can do homework. And on the

days she doesn't take it, we can see a difference when she tries to play

a board game with us.

 

No, it's not the answer for every little issue... but it's not ALWAYS

given just to quiet a wild child.

 

This from someone that swore I would never medicate my child... and

couldn't understand how anyone could... my nephews benefit from it as

well... and I believe my only niece as well.

What this taught me, in general, is that the family must be the first

place

to begin to make changes, and diet come next, medication is to be very

closely

monitored, prescribed for a short term while the other areas are

explored.

What happens is that medication is the first and usually the last

" treatment "

and explored.

Absolutely. Sometimes even a short period on " medication " can help the

child to experience what it is like to be focused and organized, and she may

function better later.

Yeah, my daughter still needs to use the meds to help out. I hope

eventually we can wean her off and she can still function.
